Huntingdon Placepot picks: Richard Birch makes his selections for the jumps card

Percy's Word, who is at the top of his game for Dan Skelton, and the less-exposed Kanukankan, whose trainer Philip Hobbs has won with five of his last nine runners, appeal in the novice hurdle (1.55).

I Spy A Diva has been found a good opportunity by trainer Kim Bailey in the mares' maiden hurdle (2.30), while Rapid Flight and Quick Draw look the pair to focus on in the novice handicap chase (3.05).

Peltwell showed highly progressive form in rattling off a four-timer in March for trainer Neil Mulholland, signing off with the comfortable defeat of Frightened Rabbit, a decent yardstick, at Hexham.

She can build on that impressive sequence by landing the 2m handicap hurdle (3.40), in which course-and-distance scorer Great Hall might outrun his forecast big odds.

Achy Breaky Heart lost little in defeat here last Tuesday and is the selection for the 2m7f handicap chase (4.15). His conqueror, Railway Muice, may have to play second fiddle to The Rutland Rebel, who makes considerable appeal in the 3m1f handicap hurdle (4.50).
